Last week we looked at kitchen gadgets of the future, and we came across some impressive concepts which we just can't wait to hit the market. (Who doesn't want a spoon that slightly heats up to make eating ice cream easy?)

After getting excited about what's to come in cookware, we thought about kitchen tools that have come and gone. And from what we saw, there have been interesting creations to say the least. Some of them we're happy are no longer around (you'll see what we mean); they probably did not get that much use anyway. But others we wish they'd bring back, like the ice cream sandwich maker -- that one was a great idea.
